  • Guo Da Li

    Due to the wedding preparations that involved quite a number of traditional stuffs, I had become quite... auntie. Hahaha. Okie, not a those void decks aunties, but savvy auntie. All the Guo Da Li stuffs were taken off the internet and What-to-dos.

    10:30am - The Groom-to-be arrives!! And so qiao. When my mother opened the door, she screamed, "Huh!! It's you. I know you" at Smelly Boy's auntie. Turned out that both of them used to work at the same place and the auntie used to come to our old house last time. I should have recognise her, but that time I was too young. Hah hah! That is really qiao loh!! Luckily, I wasnt a very naughty child.

    So, the mother, mother-in-law and Smelly Boy's auntie chit-chat about old times while Smelly Boy and I checked out what the parents had prepared for us. Got alot of things loh. Very interesting things also. I best like the Cantonese biscuits, haven eaten such biscuits before. Then, we decided to snap some pics.

    Changed clothes halfway coz I looked too plain next to Smelly Boy. Special thanks to my auntie, who drove me to the tailor to make my outfit. I would say the kebaya is tricky. Really have to tailor it, in order to look right. But I forgot to makeup properly. LOL!

    Papa was very happy that day I think. Hurhurhur!

  • Countdown to less than 30 days!

    To becoming Mrs Tan or Mrs Zeng!!

    Smelly boy is very special. His dad has got 2 surnames. Nothing to do with drama-drama family history. Just a super blur Medical staff who registered Smelly Boy's dad surname as Tan. So, our future family will continue this very special tradition. Just of one 100% stranger's mistake. Hahah.

    Very excited liao. We went for the gown fittings last week and waited for a super long time. The place was super crowded with lotsa people and not much gowns for me to choose. Haiz, I didnt choose any cheongsams because I still couldnt fit into any of them. So super duhz!! Coz there are really lotsa beautiful Shanghai inspired cheongsams around. My mother also abit sad lah, coz her daughter used to look very slim... now dunno why becomes so plump. Alot of dresses cannot wear. Caught in the middle. Not too slim to wear the cheongsams, yet not too fat to wear the special category gowns.

    Heehee, simply excited!! Coz my auntie brought me to make a very special attire. Will reveal this attire soon, when it is ready.

    CHeers, Chloe

    ps: I am starting my very own blogshop. "Oh no, not again, another blogshop..." Eh! My blogshop is also as special as all the other blogshops one okie? I am not selling clothes, coz no models wanna model for me and I am too plump, and I got no famous sister. So, I gonna sell other stuffs. Stay tuned okie?

  • I am here!!

    I cannot believe that I still remeber my Xanga password. Hello people, I am back. As a hello hello thing, I hereby attach my latest picture.

    Total doesnt look like me in real life. But hey, the bridal services are good (for the time being).  Okie, I think I shall attach a few more:

    The pics were out since May, but the wedding preparations and work have been draining my time and energy. It's more complicated than expected. And surely, the guestlists is drving both Smelly Boy and myself nuts. Not saying that I am a very nice person, but handling more than 300 people can make my blood boil sometimes. We have 2 wedding dinners to prepare somemore. And honestly, people you thought are your friends... are usually "were your friends". What type of crap is this? Giving us tons of headaches and stuff. As if we owe them a favour if they turned up at the wedding dinner. And those who constantly wince and wince and wince about so-so and who-who whenever they needed our help... conveninently disappear when we needed real help. Luckily, we have genuine friends and things were done smoothly. Really angry de loh...!!

    Anyway, I managed to sit down and sew all my sisters corsages. Quite a nice bargain. A Sg lady tried to sell one corsage for SG$9.90. But I managed to get one corsage for RM$2.20 when we went to Malaysia to attend to our Malaysia wedding preparation. Most of my relatives are in Malaysia, so we had a 2nd wedding dinner. The Msia corsage does not come with the ribbon, so I had to sew them myself. Its alright, I can do sewing. I had 9 sisters. Heehee!!

    Actually, I am really vexed with so many stuffs now. Next week will be the bridal gown fittings and I am still plump. Going on a tofu diet today!!

    Cheers, Chloe

  • Dun care, and wont bother

    Talk about walking around aimlessly.

    I am fine with it. So many bad news, bad vibes and with little bits of tiny things to derive happiness from, I am pretty content.

    So many things had happened, I am also quite tired from blogging these days. Taking a mini break. *poof*

     

    ps: I am fine. Just a little lazy.

  • Creepy stuff

    I thought I could do a night jog at about 10pm tonight. Cool. Nice breezy weather.

    Then, Didi came back and exclaimed loudly, "Hey, who's bleeding feet?"

    Curiously, I walked over to our front door and to my horror, there were faint blood-stained footprints leading to our doorstep. It's creepy loh. Even typing this out makes my hair stand. Suddenly, I want Smelly boy!!! He is not in Singapore now, so I had to sleep alone. Sob sob. Recently, there were quite a few disturbances. Firstly, someone's took our shoes and rearranged them somewhere along the stairway. Now, those blood-stained footprints. And, my missing blue slippers reappeared!!

    Whoever's trying to spook us, I think its its super creepy. Why would anyone do such a thing? By the way,  I am in a super bad mood these days. I hope I can find that stupid human prankster and hit him/her on the head.

    (If its Ah Piao (gho*t), then forget what I just said.)

    ps: Wanna get back my pixs from Dad!! My Kangxi pixs!!!!!!! Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!! He owed everyone's ice-cream!!!!!

  • EQ bitch

    Anyone you know with a super high level of EQ?

    Teach me please? Not those stupid bitches who arrow poisonous darts and got found out straightaway. In times like this, I need to stay more calm that ever. With all tempers flying high, I am really tempted to fly higher too. I wish I can stop writing everything on my face. Happy, sad, angry, jealous, scared, bored etc. Anyone can read me like a book.

    Times in need of cool EQ and tactful words. Words and speeches are like daggers these days. Haiz, I am unhappy. And I am jealous. Not envious. Jealous. And I mean it. Period.

  • Pre wedding blues?

    Is there such a thing as pre-wedding blues?

    When everything is happening like a massive hurriance going through your life, I hardly had quiet time to sit down and think. Suddenly, silly stuff like "oh, I am getting married. I am going to have a permanent boyfriend. I am going to have one more mother and father plus one more sister. Then a baby or two. I wont have the leisure time to surf internet with my legs crossed. I cannot spend time painting nails and daydream too much." Lots of things. Loads of changes... am I prepared for that? What if I cannot overcome it?

    What if Smelly boy bully me and torture me like that Indonesia socialite? Or treat me like an old grass and go after a young grass 30 years later? By then, I would be old and wrinkley. Suddenly, I became kind of worried and scared. So how?  

    There are many things I can think of and worry about now. Hey, its the uncertain future. Are all brides-to-be like that? Is it normal? Needless to say, I became mistreating the Smelly boy abit. Little bit not happy, I pinch him. Very bad hor? Sikarli he also have pre-wedding blues and decide to confiscate my engagement ring how?

    Then last Sunday, we attended a very special wedding. It was Smelly boy's army friend getting wedded. Perhaps this will be one of the most memorable wedding. Firstly, the venue was held at Sentosa. I had never been to Sentosa for a wedding (I know... suaku). Hah hah. Okie lah. Actually, it was the wedding couple's love story that caught my attention. One day, I was flipping through a women's mag and saw their pictures. The article was about younger men dating older women. And the wedding couple was the couple that the mag's interviewed. We had met up with CJ (bridegroom) a couple of times and knew that he was getting married. But I never knew that he and his wife went through so much to be together. It takes alot of courage and confidence to take this plunge.  

    As the couple did their wedding solemization on-stage, I kept having the flashbacks of the mag's article and recalling how difficult for them to be finally together and for CJ to win the heart of the lady he truly love. It was a lovely moment... but this Smelly boy kept spoliting the moment by whispering, "I think its very nice to have a solemization on-stage hor?... see no need too complicate set-up. One simple table will do.. blah blah blah..."

    But its a lucky thing Smelly boy kept distracting me. If not, I may burst out in tears at their joyful reunion. So pre-wedding blues? It seems so insignificant compared to the love story of CJ and his wife.

  • Feeling so darn emo

    Being left out suxs to the max!!

    Initially was supposed to attend a 2 weeks training with Smelly Boy and a group of friends. I hardly have many friends left in the Company due to the high turnover rate. So, I was happy lah. Until yesterday, the trainer said I cannot attend the class because I had attended before. That was last year. Last year. Last year... Actually I also cannot remember what I have learnt. So niao! It is not even an external training program whereby our Co. have to pay large sums of money to external trainers loh. Merely an in-house training. I thought the more classes we attend, the better we are. In addition, there are so many updates.

    And so, I was sent back to the office. Hang around. Shake legs. Until someone decided to let me do something worthwhile. Not feeling happy liao. Because I was mostly left alone in my seconded department. Suddenly, I realised that might be how I will feel if I left the Co. and joined a new Firm. Machiam like starting a new job like that. Except that I knew what to do straightaway. No one even bothers if I msn occasionally. Thank God for internet. Luckily, today is Wednesday. 2 more days eh?

    Recently, I have developed a new hobby. Read Chinese books. Although, I dunno half the Chinese characters. I agar-agar guess the meaning can liao. Best of all, one novel costs $1.30 niah. Story also not too bad. Small enough to carry onto the MRT. I think I better buy more and read because its so boring on the MRT.

    Haiz, I dunno why am I writing all these. I told you I am feeling emo. Emo face. Emo brains. Emo hands and emo legs.

  • JB Shopping

    I bought a cute tee for RM10 during my last trip to JB. And I regretted not buying more. Actually, the colour appeared pink under the orange lights, but its really peach colour. I dun like it. I want the real pink!!

    So, a great chance to buy more tees!! It's time to choose our wedding pixs mah. So, we headed for the customs again. Hailing for a cab during the afternoon suxs! All cabs are either "On Call" or changing shifts. No choice, we called for a cab.

    It was 11am when we reached Neway KTV. Actually I preferred JB's KTV because they have many Cantonese songs!! We sang for 2 hours, ordered 2 main course with free flow salad buffet. The salad buffet improved liao. Now, they include hot and cold drinks at the bar, hot congee with pickled vegetables and peanuts and other stuff. More fruits and salads. I think should rename it as morning buffet instead.

    Total bill came up to RM29. No kidding.

    Next up, we made our way to Venus Bridal. Hmmm, I think we were quite critical with our pictures. As expected, Ivy tried making us choose more and top up for the extra pixs. The most uninteresting offer was an extra RM5,600 in exchange for all the softcopy + 1 big photo album. I simply said, "Huh? RM5,600? I may as well purchase another RM4,588 package and I get to wear another 8 different outfits and choose to go Desaru this time round. In addition, I will get one big + small album and additional 4 more bridal and evening gowns on the actual day." Lol! Okie lah, she did not try to persuade us any further. Seeing that we were pretty tight fisted with our pix selection.

    The pixs were good. Some were really excellent. Xiang did a very good job. We prefer our outdoor shots. Dunno leh, I always feel that outdoor shots made a wedding couple more natural and relax. More themselves. Thats what I always feel whenever I browsed through wedding albums at dinners. I loved our Sultan Garden and Kota Tinggi shots!! Even though we were sweating uncomfortaby at Sultan Garden, our pixs came out great!! The ones that I thought I look sucky actually came out the best! Alas, the Kota Tinggi ones hor!! Especially the waterfalls ones!! I spied those stupid uncles trying to get into our pixs already!! Tamade! They super spolit our pixs loh!! Stupid people constantly swam behind us trying to make funny faces and all. At first, I thought Xiang was taking close ups, so I dun mind. Now I saw those raw unedited pixs, I really regret not throwing rocks at those stupid AA ("attract attention") uncles. Thankfully for the photoshop, we can erase those boliao people. WBD!! ("wang ba dans").

    Smelly boy and I did a very chop-chop "reject reject" for those pixs that we thought CMI. We even slashed 3 backgrounds because we felt they wasnt nice. We prefer quality over quantity lah. No point having okie-okie pics mah. Pointless to buy all the softcopies also. 4 hours later, we walked to Plaza Pelangi and City Square and did some more shopping.

    Teehee, I bought a pair of working shoes for RM15 and a foam pillow for RM11 (I spolit Smelly boy's pillow by throwing it into the washing machine). And also 2 cute tees for RM10 each. No more pink colour. So, I bought white colour loh.

    And Penguin classics books for RM8.50.
